A film festival is a festival in one or more movie theaters with a special program showcasing many films. The films are usually of a recent date; sometimes there is a focus on a specific genre (e.g. animation) or subject (e.g. gay and lesbian film festivals). These are typically annual events.
History
The world's first major film festival was held in Venice in 1932; the other major film festivals of the world (Berlin, Cannes, Moscow and Karlovy Vary) date back to the 1940s and 1950s.
The Edinburgh International Film Festival in Scotland was established in 1947 and is the longest continually running film festival in the world.
